Maybe the little fat boy who inherited Daddy's dictatorship is just jealous of Governor Goodhair's hair?

Maybe Kim Jong-un is an Aggie fan, or he’s jealous of Gov. Rick Perry’s hair.
Online, Austin residents wondered about that and more after reading reports Friday that North Korea’s leader had ordered the country’s strategic rocket forces to be on standby to fire at several U.S. targets, including their hometown.
Photos that appeared in North Korea’s state-run newspaper show Kim signing the order in front of a map of the United States that also depicts missile trajectories that appear to end in Washington, Los Angeles, Hawaii and Austin, according to news accounts.
Maybe it’s because Austin is home to a major operations center for South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics.
Or maybe it’s because Kim once failed to bring cash to the Salt Lick.
Though some scoffed that only Austinites would turn a bomb threat into an Internet joke, most seemed nonplussed by the news. At least on Twitter, where users turned a “whyaustin” hashtag normally used to highlight examples of why they live here into a question: “Why Austin?”
Even city officials joined in,
posting a link of a black-and-white cartoon clip of a turtle ducking into his shell to hide from a monkey holding a stick of dynamite on the city’s Twitter account.
“I can’t believe how many folks have asked about N. Korea today,” Police Chief Art Acevedo
tweeted. “For the record I’m confident we need not worry about a missile strike on ATX.”
